TCA control by CG/MS

SaInov

Quality control at the unit that allows the removal of corks with sensory deviations.

Subertech

Systecode Premium

The Systecode certification was created with the aim of recognizing companies in the cork sector that comply with the standards established by the International Code of Cork Stopper Practices, which is one of the most important modernization factors in the natural cork stopper industry.

This certification implies adherence to the most up-to-date production techniques, in addition to requiring extensive knowledge of materials and absolute respect for environmental, hygienic and safety rules at work.

Systecode Excellence

Since 2015, companies in the cork sector have also had the opportunity to improve their certifications with the availability of Systecode Excelence. To reach this level, it is necessary to previously obtain Systecode Premium certification in all cork stopper finishing activities and to obtain all semi-finished products from companies certified with Systecode Premium in cork semi-finishing activities.
